#Drywall #Window #DIY - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Finally I found a video that is very well detailed and easy to follow!! I’m a single mother who recently just got ripped off by a contractor $50,000!! He started the job and left me with a huge mess and no money to hire someone else to fix it! Wish me luck trying to do this myself. I have everything I need to do this job. I just need to take it slow and steady.
You can do it 💪
That’s terrible! But 6 months later, did you do it?
I am also wondering as I'm needing to start this soon. How did it go?
Good example of a simple DIY look. One detail about the caulk: when smoothing it with your finger, the caulk should only cover about 1/4" of the window frame. The caulk needs to be painted, because dust will stick to unpainted caulk and it cannot be cleaned. And you don't want excess paint visible on your window frame. So keep it tight.
Should it not be silicone around a window??
@@garymugford3273 Other than wet environments, silicone is not the best for appearance grade finish work. It is tricky to apply with precision, it cannot be easily smoothed, and it is not paintable. An exposed, unpaintable bead of caulk will not provide a clean uniform appearance. A quality latex caulk around interior windows is easier to apply. You can smooth and feather it with a wet finger, it seals well, paints well and is flexible enough for slight movement.
Thanks for breaking this process down. As someone who never did this process before, with your video. I was able to repair my window trim on my own!
I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you for the feedback! I wish you well on your project! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Great video, no crazy music,no screaming, just great tutorial and so humble about his work that he makes me feel I can do it too. Also super clean...I make a bigger mess just brushing my hair.
Subscribed right away! You have no idea how long I've been trying to find a detailed video of how to do this. You did such an amazing job describing everything and bless you a hundred fold for adding the items in the description to help me figure out what I'll need for the job. I have been bragging about this video to my whole family. I've never done drywall but now I'm getting some confidence I can do this myself, even with the lack of skills :) THANK YOU!
Thanks for taking the time to show us your project brother! I appreciate it. Keep up the good work and informative video.
Thank you so much for the love and support my friend! 🙏🏽😊
Great work. I think the finishing that you do (scraping the leftovers, good caulking, etc) is the difference between regular and high quality work. Thanks for showing this!
Thank you for the meaningful comment Kevin! 🙏🏽😊
I'm a DIYer and you explained this so well! Great job! Thank you.
Thank you so much Liz! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
It's so clear and understandable What'sWith this step by step process. You didn't leave anything to the imagination And thank you for not having us guess how to do the next steps ..... Great job. I wish you could teach other youtubers how to Do tutorials LOL.
Thanks for showing is this, looks good!
I think your video production has improved a-lot since I first started following you, nice work.
Thank you so much for all the love and support! 🙏🏽😊
Thank you for this great video. Easy for someone like me who knows absolutely nothing to be able to follow. I need to repair sill damage in my apartment and I'm confident I can do so thanks to you.
Thank you for helping this old gal out! You make it look so easy!
Looks amazing and brand new brother! Great job!
Thank you so much brother! 🙏🏽😊
Fantastic video! Thank you!

I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Good job! I need this for 2 windows. Just what I have been looking for.
Thank you 🙏🏽! I’m glad I could be of help! 😊

Great video…very informative and it’s just like my project! Thank you very much
Amazing job bro!
Thank you Sergio! 🙏🏽😊
Great video. I am redoing some windows and wasn't really sure what I want to do with window ledge. My brother did some of my window ledges this way. Unfortunately he passed away and I didn't get to watch him do the work. I will by trying this. However I may do the bottom edge with wood.
Thanks for the inspiration to finish my windows
Thank you Ulysses! You got this! 💯😊👍🏽🙏🏽
Omg this is exactly what I need to do for my house I’m renovating!! Going to follow step by step for my bedroom! Anything special i should do for bathroom windows???
Wow this looks good
What a great video! Thank you for making it... this was the educational video I needed to see. I have a follow up question: I have to remove/repair some of the joint compound where it attached to the corner bead and I'm wondering how to properly paint over the edge of the metal at the 90 degree angle? It seems like simple paint would quickly get rubbed off. Or maybe the paint would hold better once I replace the joint compound and make it a cleaner edge? Not sure... any advice you can give is greatly appreciated.
Nice 👍 just looks wavy
Thanks this helps
Looks great.
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Oh my goodness. This is awesome. So clear and to the point. Do I need a paper corner bead if I am only repair the top of the window?
*repairing
Nice explanatory video, thanks! I was wondering, in my case I have enough gap all around inside window frame to run my sheetrock strips actually back into that gap all around as well. I was thinking, why not do this? Still caulk and use foam as needed, but why not?
Great job. I am just about to do a very similar job.
Good job.
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Great Video! What is corner trim piece you used in the video? Does it come with different depth?
What does this do for energy efficiency or (non-)soundproofing? Is it worse than the old stuff?
Nice work. I’m the opposite, I want to rip out the drywall finish around my windows and install wood trim details.
Lots or work, it looks good. This would have been a good situation to use L bead where the edge of the drywall meets the window. Especially tear-away bead.
this looos soooo good
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
I use pre set 20 minute mud in gaps. It doesn't shrink like jt compound.
Great video. Can you link to the "corner bead" you used to give the window edges a straight edge. I have googled to find this and I cant find it. I am in Europe so we might call it something else here.
Shouldn't there be some kind of waterproof flashing covering the inside?
I pad a 'pro' to do this, he didn't use drywall, just some wood, corner bead and build it up and plaster / filler.. it cracked in multiple places when it got cold
The sides didn't need corner bead but the top and bottom did? Can you explain why not all edges? Thanks
I was worried why my contractor using drywall instead of Wood. So drywall is a acceptable way of install ?
Great video. Well laid out - only question is what about flashing/proofing on the wood inside (given it was open)?
Well done!!
we have the right corner uneven going down. the window is straight but the window frame isn't. - tighter on bottom right corner than top. they are telling me the sheetrock is hard to do now because there isn't enough space in the left bottom corner. should they be chipping the wood away to open it up wider? not sure hwy they are afraid to
Hello !
Tell me pls about the paper corner !
What is the name exactly. I would like to buy it from Amazon if is available.
Thank you !
Does the frame have to be removed to insulate existing windows? I have windows in place and wasn't planning to replace.
How did you remove the recess trim? The first part you did where your video was on high speed.
Those windows look awesome you don't even need trim
How long does it take for everything to dry? I’m wondering if I can do this all in one day?
Excuse my noobness, but why do we remove the wooden jambs again? Why cant we just put cornerbeads directly on the wooden jambs and mud & paint?
What separates the inside from the outside? There is a gap between my drywall and the window, and I'm worried that if I remove it I'll have a bigger gap, or remove what the window is sitting on so there isn't anything but exterior caulk sitting between the gap and the exterior. Does that question make sense? And is it something a professional would need to answer? Lol
I don't N95 mask is good enough in that small space bud, wear a dual respirator mask like a 3M P100 mask.
Thank you for the Advice John! 🙏🏽😊
Shouldn’t the whole window have been taken out? I didn’t see any of the sealing tape around it
there's a giant hump in the middle, pretty rough!
👍👍😉
Wood casing will always add value to a home. What you did here actually lowers the value of the house. Finish trim work is a great add to any home.
I think a combo works the best
Wood casing looks terrible imo. We skipped all the houses that had it when we went house hunting.
Wood casing is good for a farm style, not for a modern slick interior. I hate trims around windows, it looks old. Great video!
Drywall absorbs water hence mold!
Holy crap never use hot mud for a sanding coat it don’t sand well
Need to clean out that gutter outside the window - it's blocked up and running over.
Yes haha! It’s like a waterfall! Stay tuned for a future video 👍🏽😊
I saw that immediately and was going to say that will wreck your fascia, soffit and window as well. Too funny.
Your supposed to hold the foam can upside down lol
12 minute video. In reality a 2 day job waiting for compound to dry, paint to dry.
Why would you not wood frame this window then add mouldings?
It hurts to watch this, I’m sure it came out good but he needs some more experience applying mud. Also it looks way better to trim the window with wood and a decorative casing around. Less work and looks better.
It looks better if you like decorative trims. But if you want no trims because you hate em - this would be a way to go. 😎
I like the frameless look better because it looks clean 🤷
right on !!! a fking contractor would have charged 10k
I’m here to help and save you a lot of 💰! 👍🏽😊
